I understand that the East African Communications Organisation in partnership with regional IXPs is setting up a task force to establish the East Africaninternet Exchange Point (EAIXP). The National IXPs (KIXP, UIXP etc) in East africa are already a success, so the introduction the the EAIXP just stamps that governments are taking the internet seriously and hence egovernance is the way to go. 

I also understand from some insider sources that the East African Communications Organisation (EACO) is to spearhead this process.

I expected these to be the issues discussed at the just concluded EAIGF. Did it ever make it into the agenda?

Dear Networkers,

Hope we are all keeping well.

The challenges and issues in the region brought about by lack of this EAIXP have finally come home to roost in my court.

Its about time we made this happen, am not sure how but we need an extra gear, because regional services will not be easy to deliver at this rate.

  • What needs to be done?
  • Who needs to be involved?
  • What resources are needed?
  • How do we attain and sustain it?

Am all ears open, and a willing participant to make this EAIXP dream a reality.

Cheers.

Stan Ngure
